Thoughtful Observations and News from The Homestead.....................
updated three times a week or "there about"

Welcome to our Blog

In March of 2011 my wife and I quit or jobs, cashed in our chips and left the big city behind to move to our farm hidden away in northeast Georgia. These are our observations on the news of the day and our adventures in homesteading, becoming self reliant, prepping and living a simpler, more fulfilling life.

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.(B) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.

Now think about this:

Guns

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.(Yes, that’s 80 million)(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is1,500.(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.Statistics courtesy of FBI.

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times moredangerous than gun owners.

Remember, ‘Guns don’t kill people, doctors do.’

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT almost everyone has atleast one doctor.This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by adoctor as by a gun owner!!!

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctorsbefore this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

Out of concern for the public at large, we withheld the statistics onLAWYERS for fearthe shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!

Our Philosophy

It's not a single ideology, but many ideas, including a reverence for nature and a preference for country life; a desire for maximum personal self-reliance and self-sufficiency and the nurturing of family and friendships. A belief that the primary rewards for hard work should be well-being, security in all matters and a non-dependence on an outside government and it's bureaucracies , and a simple life well lived.

Grasp strongly those things you hold dear and shed from your life the complexities of the world around you. Live for your dreams and wake up every morning smiling and thinking "another day in paradise."

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”-- Dr. Adrian Rogers
